Everyday Gourmet – an oxymoron that will make sense as we explore food together.

I am not a gourmet chef. However, I love to cook and have managed to whip up great meals on a regular basis for many years. My goal is to assist and encourage you to add a little zest to your cooking – either for your family or special occasions with friends.

Thanks to a generous donation from two Meaford businesses, the Meaford Seed Library has been replenished. After a busy spring and summer growing season, the drawers of the Seed Library were quite bare.

With the month of December underway, many are now focused on the upcoming holiday season. Lists are being written, gifts are being purchased and wrapped, and homes and businesses begin to sparkle with seasonal decorations.

One of the decisions many families make each year is what to prepare for those special family dinners that are just a few weeks away. Meaford's Cirrus Hill Farm has some options that you might not have considered – Heritage birds.
